The Winter Widow

Chapter 10

AURELIA NATALIE HEART

Oh god, I shouldn't have freaked out like that on James and Natasha. I feel so bad they've been nothing but nice to me and I yelled at them and I shouldn't have.

I didn't mean to yell at James but I sorta did and I don't know what to do now and so I'm just sitting in my room. I didn't mean to walk into Natasha's conversation I was just going to ask her for something real quick that's all.

Someone knocked on my door before entering. Natasha walked in as I looked down. She's probably coming to tell me they're sending me back to Hydra now because I yelled at them.

"You okay Aurelia?" Natasha asked me as I nodded my head yeah. "Are you sure? You're not in trouble I hope you know that" she told me as I looked up at her confused. "I'm not in trouble? But I shouted at you and James, why am I not in trouble. Is it because I'm getting punished instead?" I questioned her.

Maybe it's just mind games and I'm still in trouble, and going to get punished as well. "No and you're not getting punished you'll never get punished here love." "But I shouted at you guys!" I told her. "That's fine, you didn't mean to and we all know that, and you'll never get punished okay listen to me when I say that, no one will ever lay a hand on you ever again and I'll make sure of it.

Bucky and I aren't mad at you okay?" I nodded my head listening to her. "But we do need to talk, okay?" My eyes widened because I don't want to have that talk ever again! "Please no, I had the talk before please don't make me go through it again!" I told her right away.

"Oh you had it already?" I nodded my head right away. "Okay, I won't say nothing but um Bucky and I-Please I'm sorry for freaking out but I don't want to hear anything else." I quickly cut her off as she stared at me. "Okay, I'm sorry you had to hear me talking about it love." She said.

"It's fine it's your home you more than allowed to talk freely in your own home I'm sorry for freaking out." I told her looking down. "This is your home too now Aurelia I hope you know that, it's not just ours it's yours too." She grabbed my hand gently holding it.

"Is James mad at me?" I asked quietly. "No he's not, he's nowhere near mad nor upset." She assured me and I'm glad he's not mad at me for freaking out on him and yelling at him. "Can I ask you something?" I asked looking up at her. She gave me a nod.

"Can you not tell James or my aunt?" "Of course what is it?" She asked me. "You guys are looking for my parents right?" She nodded her head not saying a word. "Did you ever find them?" She shook her head no.

"Why do you ask?" She asked me so calmly. "I just wanted to know who they were and what they looked like and who look like more, I've never met them before so I'm just curious." I explained to her. "Can you not tell no one? I'm very grateful and happy with my aunt she is the closest I got to any family and James is the closest thing I got to a father I don't want to hurt his feelings."

She squeezed my hand gently. "I won't tell them a word this is our little secret." She smiled at me as I smiled back. "Can you tell me once you find them?" She gave me a nod. "Thank you Nat." I gave her a hug again for like the second time today.

I only hug James and my aunt and now slowly Nat and Uncle Tony.

She quickly hugged me back kissing the top of my head. I let out a yawn for like the fifth time today. "You going to take a nap?" She asked pulling back as I nodded my head. "Okay, I'll let you be shout if you need anything okay?" I gave her a nod as she stood up and walked out. I'm happy I didn't get punished nor kicked out I kinda like it here.
